The new light snow has not adhered well to the old snow base. In moderate to strong north-easterly winds, slush is forming. Especially above the forest line in the Snežnik area, a snow avalanche is possible even at low loads. Spontaneous avalanches are also possible.
Snowpack
dp.6: cold, loose snow and wind
When it snows, the snowpack slowly increases. Up to 10 cm of light, dry snow has fallen on hard ground above about 1300 m. At the same time, moderate to strong winds are blowing, carrying the snow and building drifts and drifts. The snowpack is markedly uneven. There is a lot of blowing snow, especially on the leeward slopes.
Tendency
Snow and strong winds will continue. A total of 20-40 cm of snow will fall by Wednesday morning, with the highest snowfall in the Snežnik area.

The danger of avalanches is low.
The snowpack is mostly stable. In some places in the high alpine regions, especially on fresh drifts of blown snow, a small, clustered avalanche can be triggered under higher loads.
Snowpack
dp.4: cold following warm / warm following cold
There is little snow, and the peaks and ridges are in some places blown bare. In the high alpine regions, weak layers may be present in the old snow cover. In some places, Crust has formed in recent days. The cold weather has not changed the situation much.
Tendency
Light to moderate snow until Wednesday morning. 5 to 20 cm of light and sometimes fluffy snow is expected, with the least in the western Julian Mountains and the western Karavanke Mountains. Wind will carry snow to exposed positions. The risk of triggering will increase slightly as the snow will fall on hard and in some places icy ground. As snow will be relatively scarce, only minor avalanches of dry snow will be possible.
